The Padres transferred Kolek (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

The right-hander landed on the shelf in late July due to forearm tendinitis, and he now won't be eligible to be reinstated until after the regular season. Kolek recently resumed playing catch but has yet to throw off a mound, so he still has significant work to do in his rehab program.

The Padres reinstated Peralta (thigh) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

The left-hander has been sidelined since mid-July due to a left adductor strain, but he's ready to rejoin the Friars after three scoreless rehab appearances. Peralta has 11 holds this season but has struggled at times with a 4.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 34 innings.

The Padres designated Bachar for assignment Sunday.

The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. Bachar received his first big-league call-up in August but has yet to make his MLB debut.

The Pirates reinstated Borucki (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Borucki is active for the big club for the first time since early April. He was initially placed on the IL with triceps inflammation before he was later diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in his wrist. He began a rehab assignment in late June, only to be pulled off of it shortly before the 30-day window ended when he experienced a setback. Borucki resumed the minor-league assignment Aug. 17 and looked sharp during his latest stint at Triple-A Indianapolis, covering five innings and allowing one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out eight. Given his long layoff, Borucki is likely to be eased back into the Pittsburgh bullpen in lower-leverage situations initially.

The Pirates reinstated Holderman (wrist) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

With the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men Sunday, the Pirates will bring aboard two relievers in Holderman and Ryan Borucki (wrist), both of whom were activated from the IL. Holderman had been on the shelf since Aug. 8 with a sprained wrist but looks to be good to go after tossing an inning for Triple-A Indianapolis in each of his five rehab appearances.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

Added to the 40-man roster over the winter, Brzykcy will now hit the big leagues for the first time as one of the Nationals' two September call-ups. Despite not making his 2024 debut late May, the hard-throwing right-handed reliever staged a successful recovery from Tommy John surgery, which cut short his 2023 season. Between stops with Rochester and Double-A Harrisburg this season, Brzykcy logged a 2.38 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB in 22.2 innings. While unlikely to unseat All-Star Kyle Finnegan as the Nationals' closer this season, Brzykcy could quickly move into a key setup role for Washington in the final month of the 2024 campaign.

Faucher picked up the save over the Giants on Saturday, hurling a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.

Faucher took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a 4-3 lead and got Patrick Bailey to fly out to center on the first pitch before retiring the final two batters by way of strikeout. It marked the right-hander's fifth save of the campaign -- all of which came in August, and he's now recorded multiple strikeouts in two of his last three appearances. Faucher appears to have a fairly firm grip on the closer job since Tanner Scott's departure, with Faucher's only blown save coming Aug. 2.

Atlanta designated Logue for assignment Sunday.

The left-hander will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-handed reliever John Brebbia, whom Atlanta signed to a one-year deal Sunday. Logue was added to the roster in late July and was called up on two occasions by the big club, but he never made an appearance for Atlanta. He's been a standout performer as a swingman at Triple-A Gwinnett this season, logging a 2.68 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 86:27 K:BB across 90.2 innings.

Atlanta signed Brebbia to a one-year contract and added him to the active roster Sunday.

Brebbia posted a 6.29 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB while gathering 13 holds and two saves in 48.2 innings over his 54 appearances for the White Sox this season before being released by the club Thursday. Though he quickly found a home in Atlanta, he'll go from being one of the White Sox's top high-leverage arms to likely working in the middle innings with his new team. Even with A.J. Minter (hip) lost for the season, Atlanta still has several capable arms ahead of Brebbia in the pecking order to serve as setup options in front of closer Raisel Iglesias.

The Reds reinstated Suter (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

The veteran left-hander is ready to rejoin Cincinnati after a three-game minor-league rehab assignment, during which he allowed one run on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks over 4.2 innings. Suter has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 41:10 K:BB over 51.1 innings this season, and he should return to a middle-relief role now that he's healthy.
